Arrange the following events in chronological order of their commencement and select correct answer from the codes given below:1.Wild Life (Protection) Act П. Biological Diversity ActIII.Project TigerIV.Project ElephantSelect the correct answer from the code given below:

A I, II, III, IV
B I, III, IV, II
C II, III, IV, I
D II, III, I, IV

Correct answer: (b) I, III, IV, II

Explanation

  1. A

    I, II, III, IV

    I, II, III, IV would put the Biological Diversity Act (2002) before Project Tiger (1973) and Project Elephant (1992). That order is historically false.

  2. B

    I, III, IV, II

    Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972, then Project Tiger 1973, then Project Elephant 1992, then Biological Diversity Act 2002. That is I, III, IV, II — the official key.

  3. C

    II, III, IV, I

    Starting with the Biological Diversity Act (2002) is centuries too late relative to the 1972 Act and 1973 tiger project.

  4. D

    II, III, I, IV

    This code also begins with the 2002 Act and mis-orders the rest.

Summary. Official key is (b) I, III, IV, II. Sequence: Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 → Project Tiger 1973 → Project Elephant 1992 → Biological Diversity Act 2002.
